How to create an automation rule for Issues which should start in order

[Leena Pratheepan]

Hello all together,

I would like to create a rule to make issues start in order. When one issue is set to Done, the other issue should be in Progress and so on.

Specifically, I am talking about sub-tasks that start one after the other.

How to do this?

With kind regards

Leena

Hey @Leena Pratheepan 

Firstly you can link your sub-tasks when you create them. Else, if you take a directive link (blocks ofr example) you can use it to transition the next subtask when the first one is done?

Else if you have patterns in your subtasks' summary, you can base your rules on it to identify the next one.

Let me know if you have some questions 

Regards

What you mean with pattern in your subtasks` summary? 

Thank you for your Help

I have done it with scheduled trigger. It works.

By patern, I mean letters like a suffix or prefix. For example, if you go to development (the subtask might have the prefix "DEV") and then have to go through the quality department (here, you might have QUA for example).
The patern would be something like Prefix-Title-Suffix with predefined components.

With a regular patern you can identify very easly the next task
